Glentoran will be under-strength for Thursday's Europa League first qualifying round first leg tie against KR Reykjavik in Iceland (2015 BST). Colin Nixon, Ciaran Martyn and James Taylor are all on holidays while Paul Leeman (injury) and Matty Burrows (suspended) also miss the game. Director of football Roy Coyle will take charge of the Glens from the dugout in Iceland.
This is because manager Scott Young lacks the relevant coaching badges. Young will have to watch the match from the directors' box. The Glentoran manager could also have been without Richard Clarke but for the former Newry City player's determination to join his colleagues in Iceland.
